=== Glory System & PvP Updates ===
==== Character Progression ====
*Experience granted from players has been increased greatly. You're now rewarded more if you can kill a higher level player!
*Each player's first PvP Kill of the day will now grant vastly more PvP XP than a normal kill
*PVP XP can now be earned at any level from level 20 onward.
*PvE XP has been reduced for higher level characters.
*Implemented the Glory System.
*This system rewards players with experience for impressive feats in combat. These include: being the first to *kill someone, killing swathes of enemies without death, or killing particularly challenging players.
==== Mines ====
*Successfully defending a mine now grants experience to all members of the defending nation within the area around the mine. (There is a cap on the number of players rewarded)
*Successful taking a mine now grants experience to all members of the claiming nation within the area around the mine. (There is a cap on the number of players rewarded)
==== Banes ====
*Successfully defending your city will now grant Experience to characters from the defending nation on the city grid as the bane falls.
*Successfully capturing a city will grant Experience to characters from the attacking nation on the city grid as the tree falls.
=== New and Re-Implemented Features ===
*Open Trees are now fully functional. Build your own Trainer City or Merchant Town!
*The Shrine system is now functional. You may find offerings fighting general monsters or fighting lore-specific monsters. Uniquely named monsters/enemies will also have a high chance of dropping an offering.
*Training Costs are now functional.
*The Friend/KoS list has continued support.
*Maintenance costs are now functioning.
*Basic Guards System has been implemented. Patrol logic has not been implemented yet. Guard Contracts can not be re-deeded, only dismissed. Contracts expire after 10 days.
*Guards can not be bought from vendors, but drop in the world.
*Guards do not cost maintenance, and they cannot be ranked - they automatically use the rank of the Barracks they are in. Guards take 5,000 gold from the Warehouse each time they die, and the 5,000 gold appears on their corpse which is lootable.
*Guard Dogs have been re-added and may be placed in Huts. They are a rare drop and there is a cap of 4 per city.
*NPC Contracts now lose only 1 Rank instead of all of them after re-deeding.
*Massive animation overhauls - appropriate weapons now have their appropriate animations. Further, some un-used animations have been added to various weapons. Everything should look more awesome!
=== Lore on ARAC System ===
*Upon character creation you will see two servers: Vorringia LORE and Vorringia.
*Choosing the LORE server will NOT put your character onto a different server. It will flag your character permanently as a LORE character, and force the LORE rules on you (Vindication/Saedron)
*You will then only be able to join or create Lore guilds. Only Lore characters can join Lore guilds.
*If you belong to a Lore Guild that owns a city, you will receive a bonus to their "boon" effects from Shrines. *This bonus is very small, and will not make up for the downsides of Lore, nor will it change the outcome of an engagement.
*You can never turn an ARAC character into a LORE character or vice-versa.
==== Mine Changes ====
*You may now only set the window of opportunity for claimed mines that reside in territory in which you own a city (henceforth called a "home territory"). Mines not in a home territory will default to the zone's window. Maelstrom and Oblivion mines are not affected by this, and will continue to work as they have in the past.
*After a Mine's Guard Tower has been bashed down, claiming a mine now causes a guard tower to spawn. This tower starts with low health, but increases slowly during mine's window of opportunity. Therefore, players who arrive earliest will have the largest advantage. Water buckets can not heal mines now, however.
=== Balance Updates ===
==== General ====
*The Running skill no longer grants double benefits per skill point.
*All root powers now cap at power rank 20. Roots now scale in cast time from PR-1 to 20.
*All player characters have had their base movement speed increased, but movement speed enchantments have been tweaked (see below).
*You can now use potions in Wereforms. If you use sprint in a wereform, your old runbuff will come back after sprint ends.
*Sacrifice & Transfer Cast times have been normalised (lower efficiency ones have lower cast time) and a bug with the powers has been fixed.
*The passive defense bonus/debuff for level difference between players has been removed.
Movement now ends the effects of healing, mana, and stamina potions. Cast times for potions are lower now.
*All weapon-based bleed effects now last 20 seconds and tick every 4 seconds.
*Most Attack rating, defense, and ranged weapon power movement speed debuff durations have been reduced to 10 Seconds. There some exceptions such as Blade Master and Blade Weaver powers.
*The duration of the grounding effect from Grounding Shot has been increased to 15 Seconds.
==== Racial ====
*Humans are now granted an additional 20 ability points.
*Dwarves are now automatically granted the Juggernaut rune at no cost, reducing Move Speed by 10% and increasing physical resistance to compensate.
*Minotaurs have had their chance to Parry reduced by 50%.
*Centaur base movement has been lowered by 5%.
*Shades no longer receive the Death Shroud effect upon death. Being killed by a Shade character now applies "Shroud of Ardan" which cannot be removed by Succor or Sanctify the Fallen and lasts 4 minutes.
*Elves now have +20% to base magic and holy resistances. Elves also receive +20% additional effect from healing.
*All Irekei characters now have their Movement Speed increased by 10% and their Poison Resist increased by 20%.
*Nephilim can no longer fly while transformed into a human, but this form now provides increased movement speed and dexterity.
*Nephilim in their natural form now receive a bonus to health and mana regeneration.
==== Class ====
*Thieve's Crippling Blow and Coughing Gas training now caps at power rank 20. This imposes a 30s Recast to *Crippling Blow (and it's now -21% Def, -35 Dex/Str)
*Rogue's cast time for Sneak has been increased to a minimum of 2.5 seconds at rank 40.
*Wizard's Translocation cast time has been increased from 0.3s to 1.0s.
*All "Blind" effects now dispel and block the use of Detect Hidden.
*Rogues stamina cost for attacking in flight has been increased.
*Assassin's Shadowmantle duration reduced to 30s. However, % Heals now heal through Shadowmantle.
*Priest's Tend to the Wounded cast time has been increased by .5 sec.
*Healer's Blessed Healing Cast Time reduced to 0.2s, but the spell now caps at PR-20 (8s Cooldown).
*Fighter's class/race combos which do not receive toughness or athletics now gain slightly more stamina and more health per level.
==== Discipline ====
*Sanctifier's "Sanctify the Fallen" cast time reduces as the spell is trained, down to 0.2s.
*The cast time for Treat Wounds has been increased by 0.5 seconds and is now interrupted by incoming damage.
*All discipline Focus Skill-lines now receive double benefit for each training point investment. (Blademaster, *Blade Weaver, Blood Prophet, Shroudborn, Bloodcraft, Sundancer)
*Reduced the cast time of Vok-Maalra (Thrall) and Strength of the Many (Savant) to 3 seconds.
*Drannok Fortitude is now 6% HP Threshold at JM and Bloodlust now caps at 10% Damage, but is stackable.
=== Item Creation ===
*Enchantment suffixes which add Health, Stamina and Mana have been considerably improved.
*Throwing weapons have been put back onto their melee smiths, allowing the Morloch and Dispatch affixes.
*The "Deadly" prefix is now 35% ARPEN after adjustments to the mechanic.
*High-end equipment enchantments will now appear more often. However, rolling of all gear may take substantially more time depending on the rank of your forge. Further, the base cost to roll any item has been increased by 5,000 gold.
*Mithril has been re-purposed. If a city's warehouse contains any mithril, the next item roll will be instant and use one piece of mithril per item. Mithril can be found only in the expansion zones of Maelstrom and Oblivion.
*The "of the Windlords" and "of the Zephyr" enchantments have been removed from the game. You may now only roll the +5% enchantment "of the Wind". Base movement speed has been increased to compensate.
=== World ===
*Gold can no longer be deleted. Discipline, Statistic, and Mastery Runes can only be deleted by players standing in safe zones.
*Disciplines will now be returned to their classic respawn rate and drop every 4 hours. Disciplines Spawns now announce their arrival 10 minutes beforehand.
*Glass has been reintroduced to the game. Glass & Elite (Vorg, Bellugh, CC) items can no longer be repaired. *Elite drop rates have been doubled to compensate.
*Bellugh Nuathal Hammer's is being looked at and will be improved in power.
*Some specific Adventure Zones' microzones have been increased in power, notably Tainted Swamp, Vale of Nar Addad, Grimscairne.
*Maelstrom and Oblivion have had their aesthetics polished. The zones on these continents have been adjusted to cater to active high-level players looking to finish their characters. With the increased difficulty comes increased experience and gold.
*Recalling in the world now takes 5s longer, and you can no longer cast or go invisible while recalling. *Identify Scrolls also take a lot less time to use now.
